Please show another multiple unit consist.

Here are four re-motored Athearn switchers, converted into sorta SW1200RS units.  In addition to the flatcar at the left of the frame, are another 70 cars following, which these four locomotives had just pulled up the curving 45' long 2.8% grade to what would eventually become the partial upper level of my layout....

More multiples of headend power, please.

More multiple-unit diesels please.

A pair of STRATTON AND GILLETTE F units.

Something that is strange... when I was making all these pictures on my 30 by 30 photo-prop layout, I took very few pictures of my F units. I have more F3s and F7s than any other locomotives.

I think as I was making these poses, I thought I had photographed more F units than I had, so I pulled different motive power for the pictures. I have over 100 pictures of my only Trainmaster, and about 70 of my only 2-8-0. I only have one picture featuring any of my three GP-9s.

More diesels in multiple please.

Here's a Tyco 40' "wood"-sheathed reefer with a "steel" underframe, one of four on my layout...

...and here's one of the four re-worked cars...

...which are now 36'-ers with radial roofs and truss rod underbodies.

More "wooden" cars please, whether done in plastic (like mine) or actual wood.

Kevin  -  Another single commodity freight car.

In 1914/1919  (and beyond) there were a large number of Private Owner  freight cars.

Clifton Steam Trawlers,  Prince of Wales Collieries of Pontefract,  C Burnley Coal Merchants  and Seddons Salt  all make an appearance at Clarence Dock

 

Anymore single commodity freight cars?
